Utrecht had an electric city system GTU (Gemeentetram Utrecht) that stopped in 1939. And an electric interurban to Zeist operated by the NBM (Nederlandse Buurtspoorweg Maatschappij) that was forced to close down in 1949. In Utrecht was an NBM city line between Centraal Station and a terminal side track at F. C. Donderstraat. Old Postcards
